5 WAYS TO ENJOY TEQUILA BEYOND A MARGARITA

3 min readApr 30, 2018

While we typically love to share ways to make the Freshest Margarita, we thought we would switch things up this Cinco De Mayo. Margaritas are mouth-watering, don’t get us wrong, but we enjoyed curating recipes that use our tequila in alternate ways. Here are five, non-margarita ways to enjoy Milagro tequila.

Happy Cinco de Mayo & Salud!
